Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Lo wakes up in a haze and makes herself some coffee. Judah is still asleep in bed. Lo brings Judah a cup of coffee and wakes him. He pulls her into bed, and the two share a tender moment. Then, a misunderstanding between the pair leads to a small fight:Judah apologizes for not being there when Lo was attacked, and Lo gets upset that he is never home. Judah talks about making the relationship more serious, and Lo accuses him of wanting her to wait for him at home while he goes on dangerous, overseas trips as a foreign correspondent. The argument ends with Lo packing her bag and making a dramatic statement about wanting the relationship to end, because it has no future. She slams the door and leaves for her train.
Lo gets on the train, reading about the history of the captain of the Aurora from her press kit to keep her mind off of Judah and their prior argument. She learns that Lord Richard Bullmer is a self-made man: he attended a private school but when his father died, his family estate was left in shambles and he was homeless at 18 years old.
